Are We On The Road To Chile?

Or rather, to the violent overthrow of democracy there in 1973?  Maybe.  Maybe not.  But, as this article outlines, there are some very disturbing parallels between Chile in 1973 and the U.S. today. We ignore those parallels at our peril.

For progressives, the answer is not compromise, but conviction--and the courage to act on it. Hopefully, we will always be able to do so.  It would help if we remember one thing:  ultimately, all of our struggles are the same struggle.  There are signs now that we are beginning to relearn this. Hopefully, that will grow and not fade at the first whiff of smoke.
